- Otherside LyricsHow long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you've know, you can never go back
I've got to take it on the other side
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtrays full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut?
I've got to take it on the other side
The scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for a soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the other side
I yell and tell it that it's not a friend
I tear it down, I tear it down and then it's born again
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you've know, you can never go back
I've got to take it on the other side
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtrays full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut?
The scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for a soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the other side
I yell and tell it that it's not a friend
I tear it down, I tear it down and then it's born again
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever

Mostly, Otheside lyrics portray the music style of angst, heartbreak, despair, reflection and nostalgia.

This song is about the struggle to overcome addiction. I spent many nights listening to this song wondering how I would escape my own. Now I'm in recovery and the song is a reminder of my triumph over alcohol. I love this song and love RHCP.
